Hey all,
Just got back into the gvr4 game, not such a clean one this time. Turbo's blown,cracked valve cover, exhaust is rusted out, exhaust mani's cracked, brakes suck, turning is impossible.
First problem is that I feel like my car has anti-power steering, as goofy as that sounds.
The AWS light is on and the guy said he cut the lines going to the rear, but when I checked the power steering reservoir it was full and I there was a belt on the pump. Whether I'm stopped to driving normally the difficulty of steering stays the same. I've driven plenty of cars without powersteering and even those cars weren't as hard as driving this car. It doesn't make sense to me, when I'm in motion I'd think it would get easier to turn but it's just as hard as when I'm stopped.
Second problem is that my abs light goes off sometimes and my pedal pulsates randomly, I could be going 5mph and touch the brakes and it'll pulsate like no other and sounds like my front brakes locking up.
Good news-
My friend has a 1g fwd talon parts car that he's letting me take parts galore off of(for a small fee)
I have a brand new rebuilt head, valve cover, super clean intake manifold, 2g exhaust mani, 16g, 2.5" o2 sensor housing and new oil/water turbo lines from the 1g to put in along with a new composite headgasket and arp's. Is there anything I need to worry about?(any differences?)
His 1g is non abs, I can use the hardlines and proportioning valve off of the car correct? Without abs I wouldn't have problems?
I know our lower control arms are similar so would I be able to use his subframe off of his 1g?(has poly mounts in it already)
Upon doing research people have used 1g power steering racks, would that fix my steering issue?
The car doesn't have ebrake cables in it, would I be able to use the ones off the 1g or are they different?
Sorry for all the questions, just want to put some life back into this gvr4.
Thanks
